Study of brain cell activity in tumor surgery patients
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies electrical signals from brain cells in people having surgery to remove a brain or cerebellum tumor. It aims to better understand how these cells work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a tumor in your brain or cerebellum (the part at the back of your brain) that started there or spread there from another part of your body.
- Your doctor has planned a surgery to remove at least part of the tumor (called a resection).
- Your surgery is not just a small biopsy (where a tiny sample is taken).

This study uses a special microscope to study how brain tissues communicate and signal. It will look at brain tissue taken during surgery (from certain tumor or brain disease cases) to better understand brain wiring and improve reading of lab signals.
This study uses special recording sensors during brain tumor surgery to map the brain areas that control movement and speech. It may help the surgical team protect these key functions while removing the tumor.
This study records tiny electrical signals from single brain cells during planned brain surgery. It may help researchers understand how individual neurons work during different brain procedures.
This study tests whether special monitoring during brain surgery can help surgeons remove tumors safely while protecting important brain functions like language and movement.
This trial examines how the layers of the brain's cortex work to manage complex tasks. It uses brain scans and recordings from people already scheduled for brain surgery to understand how information flows in the brain.
This early-stage study measures electrical brain activity during brain tumor surgery to see if it can predict tumor return or progression. You may be offered the additional measurements while your surgeon removes a suspected or known high-grade glioma.
